NEW  YORK  CITY.— The  Charity  Organization  of  the  City  of 
New  York.  Incorporated  May  10,  1882,  under  a  special  aict. 
United  Charities  Building,  N.  E.  Fourth  avenue  and  Twenty- 
second  street. —  The  State  Board  of  Charities  adopted,  Octo- 
ber 11,  1881,  the  following  preamble  and  resolution: 

"  Whe7'eas^  There  are  in  the  city  of  New  York  a  large 
number  of  independent  societies  engaged  in  teaching  and 
relieving  the  poor  of  the  city  in  their  own  homes^  and 

"  W/iereas,  There  is  at  present  no  system  of  co-operation 
by  which  these  societies  can  receive  definite  mutual  informa- 
tion in  regard  to  the  work  of  each  other,  and 

"  W/iereas,  Without  some  such  system,  it  is  impossible  that 
much  of  their  effort  should  not  be  waisted,  and  even  do  harm 
by  encouraging  pauperism  and  imposture,,  therefore, 

'^Iiesdlved^  That  the  commissioners  of  New  York  city  are 
hereby  appointed  a  committee  to  take  s^uch  steps,  as  they  may 
deem  wise,  to  inaugurate  a  system  of  mutual  help  and 
co-operation  between  such  societies."

NEW  YOEK  CITY  —  (Continued). 

In  accordance  with  this  resolution,  the  New  York  city  mem- 
bers of  the  State  Board  of  Charities  invited  citizens,  repre- 
senting, as  far  as  possible,  all  portions  of  the  community,  to 
assist  in  organizing  this  society,  under  a  carefully  prepared 
constitution,  and  to  act  as  a  provisional  central  council  until 
their  successors  should  have  been  chosen  by  this  society  at 
large,  at  its  first  annual  meeting. 

The  following  article  from  the  constitution  shows  the 
principles  and  objects  of  the  society: 

Article  II. —  Principles  and  Objects. 
Section  1.  This  society  shall  be  cx)nducted  upon  the  follow- 
ing fundamental  principles: 

1.  Every  department  of  its  work  shall  be  completely  severed 
from  all  questions  of  religious  belief,  politics  and 
nationality. 

2.  No  person  representing  the  society  in  any  capacity  what- 
soever shall  use  his  or  her  position  for  the  purpose  of  prose- 
lytism  or  spiritual  instruction. 

3.  The  society  shall  not  directly  dispense  alms  in  any  form. 
§  2.  The  objects  of  the  society  shall  be — 

1.  To  be  a  center  of  intercommunication  between  the  vari- 
ous churches  and  charitable  agen.cies  in  the  city.  To  foster 
harmonious  co-operation  between  them,  and  to  check  the  evils 
of  the  overlapping  of  relief. 

2.  To  investigate  thoroughly,  and  without  charge,  the  cases 
of  all  applicants  for  relief  which  are  referred  to  the  society 
for  inquiry,  and  to  send  the  persons  having  a  legitimate  inter- 
est in  such  cases  full  reports  of  tlie  results  of  investigation. 
To  provide  visitors,  who  shall  personally  attend  cases  needing 
counsel  and  advice. 

3.  To  obtain  from  the  proper  charities  and  charitable  indi- 
viduals suitable  and  adequate  relief  for  deserving  cases. 

4.  To  procure  work  for  pcor  persons  who  are  capable  of 
being  wholly  or  partially  self-supporting. 

5.  To  repress  mendicity  by  the  above  means  and  by  the 
prosecution  of  impostors. 


Class  I.  Charity  Obgamzation  Societies.  9 

NEW  YOKK  CITY  — (Continued). 

6.  To  promote  the  general  T^'elfare  of  the  poor  by  social  and 
sanitary  refonns  and  by  the  inculcation  of  habits  of  provi- 
dence and  self-dependence. 

The  central  office  of  the  society  is  the  center  of  intercom- 
munication above  named.  It  receives  from  all  co-operating 
churches  and  charitable  agencies  detailed  reports  concerning 
their  beneficiaries,  and  distributes  (confidentially)  informa- 
tion so  received  to  each  of  them  which  reports  that  it  is  aid- 
ing, or  is  asked  to  aid,  the  same  cases.  The  fifth  and  sixth  of 
the  aforegoing  "  objects  "  also  receive  the  special  care  of  the 
central  office. 

The  work  implied  in  the  second,  third  and  fourth  of  these 
"  objects  "  is  the  special  care  of  the  district  committees  of  the 
society,  as  fast  as  they  are  formed;  and  to  tJiese  the  actual 
care  of  dependent  cases,  residing  in  tlie  districts  assigned  to 
each,  may  be  referred.  Cases  not  residing  in  districts  so 
assigned,  and  not  already  sufficiently  cared  for  by  other 
societies  or  churches,  may  be  referred  to  the  central  offict) 
of  this  society. 

The  charity  organization  society  thus  becomes: 

1.  A  clearing  house  of  registration,  information  and  asso- 
ciated action  among  all  the  charitable  activities  of  the  city. 

2.  An  exchanye  through  which  to  apply  the  co-operative  sys- 
tem to  benevolent  work,  and  bring  to  bear  on  i-ach  case  of 
distress  the  best  available  resources  of  the  whole  city,  espe- 
cially foY jjerm anent  and  adequate  relief;  above  all  along  such 
moral  lines  as  are  likely  to  render  applicants  independent 
of  further  temporary  or  physical  relief. 

3.  A  mercantile  agency  for  information  conceining  the 
charitable  enterprises  of  the  city  (of  which  there  are  many 
fraudulent  and  pretended  ones),  and  also  concerning  appli- 
cants for  charitable  relief. 

The  society  has  no  funds  of  its  own  for  direct  relief,  but 
it  has  a  permanent  endowment  fund,  the  income  of  which 
goes  towards  paying  the  expenses  of  the  central  and  district

offices;  and  the  increase  of  this  fund  will  enable  the  society 
the  more  efficiently  to  enlarge  and  cany  on  its  work. 

The  society  has  in  its  registradon  bureau  the  records  of 
more  than  160,000    families  or    cases;    and   is  a  center  of 
exchange  for  488  co-operating  societies  and  churches.    I^urmg 
1892,  6,924  cases  were  investigated  and  treated  for  members 
and  co-operating  agencies  or  on  personal  application,  and  732 
street  beggars  were  dealt  with.     Tn  addition  to  the. general 
office,  there  are  nine  district  offi(;es  and  one  central  office

MATTEAWAN  (P.  O.,  Fishkill-on-the-Hudson)  —  DUTCHESS 
COUNTY. —  State  Asylum  for  Insane  Criminals. —  This  is 
the  oldest  and  pioneer  institution  anywhere  established  for 
the  exclusive  care  and  treatment  of  the  criminal  insane. 
Although  an  act  was  passed  in  1885,  which  provided  for  the 
erection  of  a  separate  asylum  for  insane  convicts  who,  prior 
to  that  date,  had  been  cared  for  at  Utica,  no  appropriation 
was  made  until  1857;  and  it  was  not  until  the  following  year 
that  the  organic  act  (Chap.  130,  Laws  of  1858)  was  passed, 
which  legally  established  this  asylum  as  the  ''  State  Lunatic 
Asylum  for  Insane  Convicts."  The  buildings  were  first 
opened  for  the  reception  of  patients,  February  2,  1850,  at 
Auburn,  N.  Y.  Some  years  afterwards,  by  chapter  895, 
Laws  of  1869,  its  scope  was  materially  enlarged  and  its  title 
changed  to  the  "  State  Lunatic  Asylum  for  insane  Criminals.'' 
By  this  act,  it  was  empowered  to  receive  unconvicted  cases 
upon  judicial  orders  from  the  courts  and  from  the  various 
State  asylums  by  transfer.  The  original  organic  act  has 
since  been  revised  by  chapter  446,  Laws  of  1874;  chapter 
574,  Laws  of  1875;  and  finaUy  by  chapter  289,  Laws  of  1884; 
and  its  name  changed  to  the  present  title.  The  asylum  is  now 
operated  under  the  provisions  of  chapter  289,  Laws  of  1884; 
chapter  446,  title  2d,  Laws  of  1874;  rhapter  515,  Laws  of  1884; 
and  such  provisions  of  the  general  laws  as  are  applicable  to

its  administration.  The  asylum  at  .Vuburn,  some  years  ago. 
became  overcrowded;  and,  in  consequencie  thereof,  a  com- 
mission was  appointed  by  chapter  192,  Laws  of  188t>,  Iv 
report  to  the  Legishiture  of  the  foQovving  year  u])on  ihe  best 
method  of  providing-  suitable  farming  lands  for  the  occupa- 
tion of  the  inmates  of  this  asylum.  'J'he  first  approi)riation 
was  made  by  chapter  545,  Laws  of  1887,  and  the  new  building 
at  Matteawan  was  opened  for  patients,  April  25,  1892;  the 
population  of  the  Auburn  asylum  being  transferred  on  that 
date  and  the  old  institution  abandontid.  The  revision  of  the 
organic  act  of  1884  is  now  again  under  consideraiion  ani 
will  be  presented  to  the  Legislature  of  1893.  Tlie  objects  of 
this  asylum  are  to  provide  a  hospital  for  the  <are,  caf«.lody 
and  treatment  of  such  patients  is  may  be  committed  to  it 
by  the  various  courts  of  the  State' in  cases  where  insanity 
appears  to  have  existed  at  the  rime  the  criminal  act  was 
committed;  or  where  insanity  subsequently  develops  either 
while  the  subject  is  awaiting  trial,  or  after  conviction.  If 
sentenced  to  any  of  the  various  penal  institutions,  a  patient 
may  be  transferred  therefrom  to  this  asylum,  providing  that 
insanity  should  arise  or  be  disclosed  while  he  is  undergoing 
sentence.  This  institution  has  a  capacity  for  about  450 
men  and  JOO  women.  It  is  supported  in  part  by  the  State

TEMPORARY  RH:LIEF  OF  DISTRESS. 
(Including  Relief  to  Foreigners.) 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  by  those  seeking  the  proper  sources 
of  relief  in  any  case,  that 

First. —  Parents  are  legally  bound  to  maintain  their  depen- 
dent children,  and  children  to  maintain  their  dependent  parents; 
and  such  relatives  may  be  directed  by  a  court  of  comi>etent  juris- 
diction, in  its  discretion,  to  contribute  according  to  their  several 
abilities. 

Second. —  All  religious  congregations  make  provision  for  the 
relief  of  needy  and  distressed  members  of  their  own  parishes. 
Reference,  therefore,  may  always  be  made  to  the  relief  agencies 
of  the  congregation  with  which  the  case  is  affiliated. 

Third. —  The  societies  for  foreigners'  relief  (see  division  8)  make 
ample  provision  for  temporary  relief  of  persons  of  their  own 
nationality.  Therefore,  in  case  of  applications  from  persons  of 
foreign  birth,  reference  should  be  primarily  made  to  the  society 
for  the  relief  of  the  same  nationality,  if  any  exist.

its  charter;  and,  after  a  suitable  probation  in  their  institution, 
to  learn  for  what  they  are  best  adapted,  etc.,  to  secure  for 
them  permanent  country  homes  in  Christian  families.

city  street,  taught  habits  of  industry,  and  propriety  of  con- 
duct, the  knowledge  of  the  Bible,  etc.,  and  surrounded  by 
influences  that  may  be  protective  and  saving.  More  than 
2,000  of  this  class  daily  receive  food,  raiment  and  watohcare
